Facebook Live transcripts and captions

Once a Facebook Live has ended and the recording is posted, transcribe it like any other video: paste its link if anyone can watch it, or download the recording and upload the file. The transcript of a sermon, a class or a Q&A session can then be edited into notes, quotes or a recap post.

To put captions on the video before you post it again, download SRT and VTT, or burn the captions into the picture with the subtitle generator; SRT vs VTT explains which file to use. For Instagram videos, see Instagram video to text.

What it does

What the Facebook video to text tool does

It takes a public Facebook link or a downloaded file and gives you the spoken words as text you can edit and reuse.

Public links or uploaded files

Paste a public video or Reel link. Anything behind a login, such as a private group, uploads as a downloaded file instead.

Transcripts of past Lives

Turn a finished Facebook Live into text for a recap, a blog post or a list of the questions viewers asked.

Edit and name speakers

Correct the transcript like a document and rename the speakers, so a panel or an interview reads clearly.

Captions from the same transcript

Download SRT and VTT caption files, or TXT or Markdown for a document.

Take the next step with your video

Make a subtitle file, keep captions on the video, or choose a short moment to share.

Questions

Common questions

How do I transcribe a Facebook video?
Copy the link to the video on Facebook, paste it into Exemplary AI and pick the spoken language. If the video is not public, download it from Facebook and upload the file instead.
Can I convert a Facebook video to text for free?
Yes, within the Free plan: 500 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. Transcribing a Facebook video uses credits from that allowance.
Why won't my Facebook video link import?
The video has to be public: if it does not play in a browser where you are not logged in to Facebook, it will not import. Share links and links to videos on personal profiles often fail too, so try the link to the video itself, or download the video and upload the file.
Can I get a transcript of a Facebook Live?
Yes, after the broadcast ends. Use the link to the saved recording if it is public, or download the recording and upload the file.
Can I transcribe a video from a private Facebook group?
Not from its link, because the video needs a Facebook login to watch. If it is your own video, download it from Facebook and upload the file; the uploader takes MP4, MOV and WEBM video.
Can I download the transcript as captions for Facebook?
Yes. Download SRT and VTT for caption files that keep the timing of each line, or TXT or Markdown for a document.
